Almost great , needs a bigger battery .
on June 25, 2023
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
I have owned Dell laptops for over 20 years, boy have they come a long way. Gone is the chunky design with large bezels and horrendous battery life. The Dell XPS 13 Plus 13.4" OLED is a slim, well refined laptop with a gorgeous, decently bright OLED screen. It is the pinnacle of all Dell has learned about making laptops; albeit not perfect as a result of pushing the design. I am not going to go into the detailed specs, there are plenty of reviews for that. What’s important is how it performs and how does it look. Let’s take a look at all the important categories:
Display -
4k, 400 nits and OLED? There are only a few laptops of this size with comparable numbers. Colors pop off the screen and HDR movies look fantastic. With only a tiny bezel, the screen has a lot of realistic. Could it be a bit brighter? Sure, but at the cost of battery life.

Design and build –
A solid, well refined design build. Nearly all metal with perfect fit and finish. It is only .6 inches thick at its deepest point – very thin. I do get concerned about fl,ex on very thin laptops with OLED screens but that is not a problem. There is no flex – literally. This is one solid laptop.

Keyboard and touchpad –
I am usually not a fan on most keyboards on 13-inch laptop keyboards, but the XPS 13 Plus has an interesting design. The FN keys are gone and replaced with a touch bar. I know, I know – it usually not great when a company does this ( hello Apple,) but it definitely works for Dell. It looks like it enabled additional space to put a 3 / 4 keyboard with full size keys. The typing experience is excellent – just the right amount of tactile feedback with perfect key spacing.
The touch pad might be another matter for some people. You are either going to love it or hate it. Dell decided to make the touch pad large but there are no lines to where it starts and ends. I found myself miss clicking or not hitting the touch pad in the correct place. It does have gesture capabilities and unique ways of clicking ( such as right click can be accomplished by tapping with two fingers.) It does take some time to get used to and I can see it be a turn off for some. It is not a deal breaker, but I would have liked something a bit more traditional.

Speakers –
The speakers are what you would expect from a laptop in this price range. Crisp, clean with no discernable distortion. It could be a bit louder; Apple does have an advantage in this category. Regardless, perfectly capable in most environments.

Connectivity and camera –
A bit disappointing for both. The video cam is 720P at 30 FPS, 10-year-old technology. For this price range, I would expect 1080P at 60 FPS. To compound things, the laptop has only two Thunderbolt 4 ports. Since you also charge from this port, it basically leaves only one to work with while charging. I know most manufacturers are moving to this minimalistic design but I think a third port would have been much better.

Performance –
Since this Dell does not have a dedicated video card , this is not a laptop for gaming. However, it does have the latest i7 chipset, a whopping 32 gb of ram and blazing 1TB SSD. There is nothing from a productivity standpoint that you can overtax this laptop. Web pages and apps open and close nearly instantaneously. I tested the system with some rather complex spreadsheets and there were no slowdowns. Very powerful.

Middle of the road. I got about 8 hours of mixed use. Perfectly usable, but I expected a bit more. Most of the competition in this price range does a bit better.

In conclusion, the Dell XPS 13 Plus 13.4" OLED Touch Laptop is a great little machine. It hits most of the key points. The only negatives besides what I mentioned above is the laptop does get a bit hot after prolonged heavy use. Not blazing, but enough to notice. For me, it does not really bother me. However, that level of heat makes me wonder about the long-term durability. That is concerning since the warranty is a paltry 1 year. I wish Dell would separate themselves from the pack and start including 3 year warrantees. If they feel their product is so good, they should back it accordingly. Regardless, if you are in the market for sleek Windows laptop, you cannot go wrong with the XPS.

Intro-level price. Pro-level results. For food nerds, by food nerds. Our most compact cooker is still huge on results. This latest iteration of our entry-level sous vide circulator adds key improvements as requested by food nerds, for an even sweeter deal on perfect meals.

Anova is king - everyone else is a distant second.
on May 1, 2023

Anova - Precision Cooker Nano 3.0
Let me start out that I love Anova products. They work exactly as advertised and offer great quality at an affordable price. The Precision Cooker Nano 3.0 does not disappoint and continues that tradition in most facets. That is not to say there are some shortcomings compared to some of its big brothers. In review:
Construction, fit and finish –
The first thing you notice is that it is small - very small. Hence the name “Nano.” It is the smallest and lighter cooker in the Anova line up. It is about 1 inch smaller in every dimension and nearly half the weight compared to the Cooker Pro (of which I own two.) That makes this only 12.8 inches tall and weighs only 1.54 lbs. The display is clear but it is on the smallish side compared to some other models. Those with large fingers may not find it as usable. However, this is not overly important since it is app controlled as well ( which I only use on all the Anova cookers.) The Nano 3.0 is made of sleek black plastic with a tight fit and finish. I do prefer the Pro design that uses a lot of metal.
Set up and the app-
You have a choice to operate the unit with or without the app. If you are in a hurry , you can remove the protective plastic , put it in a water filled pot and plug it in. You will be up and running in a few minutes. Of course, the Nano 3.0 is designed to work best with the app. Simply download the app, create an account and connect to the Nano 3.0. The app immediately identifies the Nano when you reach the connecting phase, very simple. After connecting, the app will probably tell you there is new firmware for the unit. It only takes about 2 minutes to update and then you are up and running. From there, you can choose to set the temperature and time based on a recipe or choose from the multitude of guides and recipes. When you choose a guide for a meat, it will show you various pictures for doneness and take you through the steps. While you can choose to not use the app, there is whole another world when you do. The app is well thought out with an easy-to-use UI.

Performance –
I tested the Nano 3.0 cooking chicken cutlets that were vacuumed sealed with seasoning a small amount of broth. Anova makes an affordable great vacuum sealer that is perfect to use with the Nano. I set the timer on an hour at 150 degrees. The first thing the app and the Nano told me is that I did not have enough water in the pot. I knew that as I was already adding more water to pot. It is a nice safety feature. The first thing I noticed is that it did take considerably longer than my Anova Cooker Pro did to heat up water – like a lot longer. I probably used a larger pot that I had to ( 12 quarts,) but it is also because the Nano 3.0 is 850 watts as opposed to the 1200 watts I am used it. The Nano 3.0 also did not circulate the water as fast as the larger Anova units. However, it did maintain temperature just as well – barely fluctuating by .1 degrees are so. Impressive for such a small unit. In the end, it took about 1 hour and 20 minutes to cook the chicken including the time it took to reach the temperature set point. You can check the app along the way and it will alert you once the cooking cycle is complete. The chicken came out exactly as intended – juicy, tender and not stringy.

In conclusion, the Anova Nano 3.0 does not disappoint. The unit does exactly as advertised; albeit slower than I like. The Nano 3.0 is designed for smaller meals and perfect for one two people. I can see it falling short for larger items or larger batches of foods. If you look at the specifications, it shows it has a flow rate of 7 liters a minute whereas the Anova Pro Cooker has 12 liters a minute. That is a big difference and could impact the evenness. However, that probably will not matter for most people who are only cooking for two. Another big difference is the price. The Nano 3.0’s regular price is nearly 25% less than the top of the line Anova and well within line of other competitors. Overall, I think this is one best values you can get and will be an unbelievable deal if you find it on sale. Putting the Anova cookers aside , I’d like to point out how great the app is. It is simply the best on the market and the main reason I love the Anova Cookers. If this is first try in the sous vide world, I highly recommend the Nano 3.0. If you are a bit more experienced or cooking larger meals, look to some of the Anova Pro units. Bottom line, you cannot go wrong with Anova.

Too many pitfalls - only for beginners
on April 25, 2023
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
I have never been much of a fan of gaming wheels. I have found that most I like were way too expensive and affordably priced ones were just not good. As a result, the standard controller worked just fine for me. Unfortunately, the Thrustmaster 128 does not change my position. If anything, it reinforces it. In review:
Build quality and ergonomics –
Well, the best way to describe is it just feels cheap. Everything is hard plastic . The pedals are very lightweight, and you can easily move them around by accident. I had to put them against the edge of heavy box and even then, they just would not stay in place. I also found the pedals too close together. The steering wheel itself is hard plastic and uncomfortable, they could have at least put some type of soft touch plastic. It is also too small for my liking. The clamping mechanism works well and keeps the wheel in place on a table. The button arrangement is well thought out and spaced out relatively well for the size of the unit. I would have liked a bit more space between the buttons on the right side, but I think most people will find it decent. The paddle shifters behind the wheel have just the right amount of tightness and spring back into position solidly.

Feel and performance –
The wheel had some decent haptic feedback and offers resistance in turning of the wheel depending on the conditions of the game. I tested the Thrustmaster T128 on Gran Turismo and WRC and you can actually feel the differences on the type of road you are on ; especially if you go off road. If another car collides with your vehicle, you can feel it in the wheel and in some cases; lose control a bit. The wheel itself lets you turn more than a complete circle giving the feel of a true car. As I mentioned earlier, the pedals are a disappointment. I simply could not get them to stay in place for the desk arrangement and floor I have. It really ruined the experience for me.

I realize this is on the low end of scale for racing wheel but there are just too many pitfalls for me. I guess if you are an early teen or younger, this might be a decent starter wheel. If Thrustmaster fixed the issue of the pedals, I would rethink my position since most of the other functionality is good for the money. But for now, I cannot recommend Thrustmaster 128 for most people.

Panasonic phones are simply the best.
on April 16, 2023
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
I have been buying Panasonic cordless phones for almost 35 years and I can say they have always been great. The KX-TGF892B continues that tradition and earns top marks in every category. In review:
Features –
Like almost every top line home phone, the KX-TGF892B has all the features - speaker phone, caller ID, intercom, transfer, Bluetooth etc. However, there are three stand out features – the Automated Call Block, One-Ring Scam Alert and 1-touch Call Block Button. While it is impossible to tell how well these features were working , I can say I did not receive any scam calls. The point is that these features are a comprehensive system to minimize scam calls.
Performance –
In a word – perfect. The sound was loud and clear in the head set and the speaker phone. The screens are large and easy to read. At first, I was not sure I would like a basic black and gray screen since my current Panasonic had a large color screen. It turns out a simpler backlit black and gray screen is better. A minor complaint is the screen, while wider than my older Panasonic (KX-PRLA20, ) it is not as tall. That makes you scroll through more of the data when reading. One the corded handset, the screen is quite large and easily seen from across the room.
An interesting aspect of the Panasonic - KX-TGF892B is the handset is taller by ¾ inch than my Panasonic KX-PRLA20. I know that does not sound like a positive, but it turns out to make difference if the sound quality. The increased height moves the microphone on the receiver closer to your mouth. As a result, the handset seems to pick up less background sound and more of your voice.

As a result, the handset seems to pick up less background sound and more of your voice.
Build quality –
The overall design and build quality has not changed much over the years. I’ve only been using the KX-TGF892B for about a week so I can attest to its long term durability but it does feel well built. My prior Panasonic handset’s buttons had a bit better tactile feel but I doubt this will affect the long term durability.
Cons -
The only downside I can see with the KX-TGF892B is the 17-minute recording time for the answering machine. The competition has longer time and I would prefer to have something longer
In conclusion, Panasonic phones are virtually unimprovable and have no discernable flaws. There is really no innovation or stand out features that Panasonic can come up with to improve their phones anymore. Therein lies a problem, Panasonic has an increasing share of a shrinking market with great devices that one day will not have much of a place in the world. I hope that does not lead to Panasonic phones disappearing one day, they are really the best. If I were them, I would concentrate on a merging of technologies of their IP cameras with VOIP/landline phones. Keep up the good job Panasonic

Better options out there for the same price
on February 15, 2023
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
I have mixed feelings for the Philips Norelco OneBlade 360, most of which puts me in the minority based on the reviews I have seen. On the surface, the OneBlade is high on features and low on cost. How it performs is another matter. For me, I found it only useful for touch up work around the ear and side burns. I could see the same for those who have a beard. When using the blade, it feels like is could cut or pinch you but that did not happen to me on flat skin. For other areas of the body, I would watch out . Trust me, you fill in the blanks… With that said, let’s look at the pros and cons .
Pros
Long battery life. The battery lasted longer than the 45 minutes than advertised.
Lightweight.
Main body is (not including head and attachment mechanism) built surprisingly well.
Small size is good for finishing work.
Inexpensive initial cost.
Waterproof.
Cons –
You have to make several passes over the same area to remove all the hair.
Where the blade attaches is very flimsy and probably will not hold up.
Awkward feeling during use.
Blade life is questionable, replacement blades can add up fast.
The trim length attachment is nearly useless. Difficult to use and cheap.
I used the Philips Norelco OneBlade 360 for a week and it is just not for me. I am not sure what the demographic is for the OneBlade 360 and what is purpose. The reason I say that is there are far better trimmers made by Philips that do a superior job in everyway and cost nearly the same. The only advantage the OneBlade 360 has is when you are doing very fine detail work. Sorry Philips, you make great products ( which I own) and this is one I do not like.

The Nextbase 320XR and Rear Window Camera is the ideal solution for all-around protection on the roads in full HD quality. The front cam captures every detail in 1080p full HD at 30fps, with the aid of a 140~ wide viewing angle. It utilizes the latest 2.5" screen with IPS technology for easy menu selection and playback. The 320XR uses the exclusive Click&Go PRO mount with integrated neodymium magnetic power connectors for easy installation and removal using just one hand. The 320XR Rear Window Camera connects to your front facing Dash Cam via a supplied 6.5m cable. It fits directly to your rear window with an easy to install self-adhesive pad. The magnetic, adjustable fixture means that it's suitable for angled windows in cars or more vertical van windows. The Rear Window Camera records in full 1080p HD with a wide 140 degree viewing angle to guard against everything from hit-and-run impacts to knocks and bumps in a car park. The 320XR also includes Intelligent Parking, which automatically starts recording when motion is detected, keeping your car safe when parked. For this feature, we recommend hardwiring in the Dash Cam using the Nextbase Hardwire Kit. Footage must be played back on a PC/Mac using Mynextbase Player or online using the free MyNextbase Cloud service (minimum requirements: Windows 10/OSX 10.9). The 320XR is not Bluetooth, and will NOT sync directly with the MyNextbase cell phone application.

Great on paper, short on performance.
on December 12, 2022
Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
The Nextbase 320XR Dash Camera is an entry tier product in the Nextbase line up. On paper, it looks like you get a lot of important features for very little money 1080P, 140 degree field of vision, front and rear cams etc. However, there are shortcomings in performance that are not for everyone. In review :
Installation –
The mounting system is semi-permanent with an adhesive mount that magnetically locks the cams. Very solid and secure – far more preferable than the suction mount systems. It took less than 15 minutes to install the system.

Features –
I am not going to go into the nitty gritty details of features, you can see that in specs . In summary, the Nextbase 320XR is very barebones. No Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth, no GPS, no voice control. For the price point, it is no the end of the world but I did miss Wi-Fi of some of the other units I have tried.

Performance –
In a word – disappointing. During a bright day the video capture appears decent at first. Colors do pop and appear rich. However, you start to notice that the fine details are not there. Street signs are tough to see and license plates at 4 car lengths are hard to see at all. When the light drops a bit, licenses become very difficult to see. At nighttime, forget about seeing writing on anything.

Screen –
The screen is a both a pro and con depending on your preference. The screen is of the non-touch variety. While that is a bummer for a lot of people, I did not find myself missing it . I have reviewed several dash cams with screens about the size of the Nextbase 320XR and found those units with a touch screen to be difficult to use. There is something to be aid for tactile buttons for a screen that is half the size of your phone. In terms of screen performance, it is middle of the road – not terribly bright and colors are a bit washed out.

As with all Nextbase, the fit and finish of the 320XR is excellent. Far better than I would expect in this price range. It reminds me a mid tier camera.

Even thought I would rate this this product at 3 starts, I just cannot recommend it. The detail performance is just too poor – anything with letters is barely readable. Low light performance in general is subpar. I could not find what image sensor the 320XR uses but I would guess it uses that same old Sony that is 5 years old or more than far too many dash cam companies use on their lower tier products. Not all is lost on the 320XR, if you catch on sale at Bestbuy and are on a budget, it may be for you.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good upgrade for laptop.

When I first received the Samson - Go Mic Video, I thought what the point was. My laptops are only a few years old with my work laptop only a few months old. The video and audio quality is decent. However, the Samson Go Mic Video proved had inadequate the built in cams and mics are. In review:
Build quality and design –
The Go Mic Video is well made and solid. The main body is plastic and the base is metal. It is designed to clip onto a laptop screen or a standard monitor. There are thick rubber pads on the clipping mechanism to prevent damage to anything you may clip it on. It is smart design that lets you clip either on the top or the side of a screen. The clamping mechanism is surprisingly strong, weak hands may have trouble opening it. Do not want to clip it on a screen? Samson has it covers – the base can also be used as a free-standing video cam. There is a 3.5mm headphone connector in the side of device. Light weight and a compact design that I really like.

Set up –
Plug in and go. No special software. I used it on two laptops - a 4-year-old LG Gram and new Surface Pro 7. There were no issues whatsoever. I did read some a review that stated they had a problem with the Surface Pro but that was not my experience.

Video quality –
Excellent and noticeably better than my Surface Pro 7 and LG Gram. Using both Zoom and Teams, I switched back and forth between the built-in camera and Go Mic Video. You will immediately notice a less grainy, richer picture on the Samson. There is little to no latency and colors are decent ( although not as a good as a cell phone video cam.)

Mic audio quality –
The mic sounds excellent and does a great job of capturing rich vocals while minimizing background noise. There is switch on the side of the mic that makes a huge difference in sound clarity. The switch allows user to choose a cardioid or omni pattern. Since I was using it for Team and Zoom meetings here I am the only person in the room, I chose the cardioid . That significantly cut down on the mic picking up unnecessary background sound.

There is a lot of thought and quality in the Samson Go Mic Video. For a bargain price, you get a perfectly competent video cam and mic that is great for today’s video conferencing. There is not much not to like but there is some room for improvement. I would put a power button on the unit rather than relying on unplugging the unit to shut it down. The colors could be richer and makes me wonder if the Samson Go Mic Video would benefit with some software tuning. Other than that, this is a great product with a solid 2 year warranty. .
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not ready for prime time.

I tried really hard to see the point for the Adidas rpt-02 Sol headphones. Adidas has plenty of marketing fluff – “Built in part from recycled plastics” ( no one cares,) “sweat-proof and splash-proof IPX 4 ( really the minimum it should have in this price range,) powered by light ( not quite,) 80 hour battery life ( excellent.) In the end, this is a mediocre headphone that Adidas is going to have a hard time in finding a niche customer. This does not mean it is all bad, Let’s look at the pros and cons -
Built in part from recycled plastics
Built in part from recycled plastics, adidas RPT-02 SOL headphones are designed to be lightweight but durable. I am only mentioning this as a pro because there may be that 1 in 100,000 people that care . I certainly do not.

IPX4-rated
I am stretching to have the IPX4-rated design as pro since there are competitors with an ear bud design that have a better rating. For headphones in this price range, there are few that have a IPX rating at all.

Long battery life -
Adidas claims 80 hours of battery life and I believe it. Putting aside the “charging by light,” I charged the unit to 100% and could not exhaust the battery after a week of using.

Intuitive controls –
The controls is a button placed near one ear piece. At first I found it cumbersome but it does work well after you get used to it. It is easy to find and is large enough that you will always hit it on the first try. I find competitors controls hit and miss.

Crisp and clear after some tuning in the app. However, the quality quickly degrades in moderately noisy environments.

Lack of active noise cancelation –
For a headphone in this price range, there should be some type of noise cancellation. You definetlye pick up your share of ambient sound.

A bit uncomfortable for long wear times. They oddly transmit extraneous sounds to the headphones.

Over the ear headphones are not as good for workouts as earbuds. The shift all over the placed and quickly become annoying.

Overpriced –
At the time of writing this review, the regular price is way too high for what you get. I would have expected the retail price to be 30 to 40% les expensive.

In conclusions, the Adidas rpt-02 Sol does not feel ready for prime time. There are way better options in this price range and do what they are advertised to do. For me, the charging by light did virtually nothing indoors and that would have been the only saving grace. It does nothing well and the whole idea felt a bit gimmicky. Sorry Adidas, this is dead on arrival - time to rework the design.

Just average, old image sensor

Posted by: TechnicallyCorrect
Dash cams have been underwhelming for years. All the better brands are adequate, but nothing really jumps out as groundbreaking. That is the case with the Rexing - V5C 3” 4K , adequate but nothing special. This is standard dash cam with decent features that you would expect in this price range.
What I like:
Voice Control – surprisingly good. Fast and responsive. Recognized commands every time. Easier to use than fiddling with buttons.

Dual Band Wi-Fi/App -

Capacitor -
Power is delivered by a capacitor, instead of a lithium-ion battery. Overheating has always been a problem during the summer, capacitors provide superior temperature resistance.

Controls –
Since there is no touch screen, there are several buttons on the bottom. I find the placement and size awkward. You do not have to do a lot of adjustments after the initial set up but I found it difficult when I did have to use the buttons.

Video quality –
Great, if it was 5 years old. This is the problem with so many dash cams. Too many use the same outdated image sensor (Sony IMX335.) It does not matter whether it is a $40 dash cam or a Rexing $300, they are using the same image sensor. Search “Sony IMX335 dash cams” and see what comes up – it is amazing. Manufactures can make all the changes to software, the lens etc – not much of a difference when you are using the same image sensor.

Cabin camera –
For me, totally useless - I would have much rather had a rear camera. Unless you are Uber driver, I do not see the point. Even worse, you cannot easily turn it to record a police officer if you pulled over. The auto infrared lights up too much of your face, you may have to adjust it downward.

As I stated at the beginning of this review, the Rexing V5C is adequate. While it has a lot of features, I unimpressed by the image quality. It is no better than a Rexing I had years ago and not as good as a top of line competitor I have (which is nearly twice the price.) Rexing should concentrate on using better image sensors and making the controls more user friendly. The big positive is the price, you do get a lot for money and the warranty is better than most at 18 months. I cannot really recommend it because I think there is better. However, if you are on the budget and want a decent warranty, this may be a good choice.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Lot of tech for little money.

When I first opened the box on the Amazon Halo View I was not impressed. The Halo screen seemed too small, the band was too cheap, and it have an overall feel of being low end. While all those things may be true in many respects, you must look at the Amazon Halo View as system. That is where the line starts to blur and whether you will like it or not. Next you look at the low price, very low if you catch it on sale. To test the Halo, I wore it on a trip to Las Vegas where I tested it for over a week. It was a convention so there were some defined paths that I knew what the distance was going to be. Let’s look at the various features, functions strengths and weaknesses:
Build quality, fit and finish –
Well, underwhelming. The band is small, rubberized and feels like it will not last. The clasping is awkward and not like others I have tried. How it works is the rubberized band has holes in it where you place a nub that is on the other band. One secure, you then slide on band under the other through a clasp. This design is not for me, it is awkward and feels cheap. I cannot tell how easily the bands can be replaced if they break. I do see there are other bands that are available, but I would rather put the money into a better built unit. The main body was better with little flex and felt more solid than the band. The body did not scream top line but was comparable to a decent cell phone earpiece.

Screen –
First thing to remember - this is not a smart watch; it is a fitness band. As such, the screen is only about 1/3rd the size of typical smart watch. The screen is all plastic and is moderately responsive. Brightness is better than expected and easily seen under most conditions except direct sun light. Because of the small size of the screen, the text on some of the functions might be small for some people. Overall, the screen is better than I expected for a lower priced fitness tracker.

Sensors –
This is where the Amazon Halo View starts to shine. The heartbeat monitor is very responsive and accurate. I own several smart watches that are a few years old, and the Halo does a better job getting your heart rate. The step count monitor is excellent as well. To test the accuracy, I wore a 4-year-old smart watch side by side to the Halo while in Las Vegas. I never felt the old smartwatch was accurate and the Halo proved it. Over a period of several days, I walked a similar path down to a convention. My old smart watch varied greatly and never was close to the Halo. On the other hand, the Halo was consistent ever day. The numbers will never match day to day on the same path but there was a definitive, measurable pattern of accuracy with the Halo. The Halo does have an oxygen saturation sensor, but it was wildly inaccurate no matter how I wore the band. For me, this was not overly important, but you definitely should not buy the Halo for the oxygen saturation sensor alone.

Functions and app –
The Amazon Halo should be looked at the functions built within the device and what you can do with the app. Within the actual device, the Halo uses the sensors with the “exercise” function. That function lets you choose what type of exercise you do - walk, run, cycle, fitness training, weights, yoga etc. This enables the Halo to more accurately track your movements (which then integrates into the app.) From the app you can pull all the data – steps, sedentary time, calories burned and more. The Halo also displays your messages, incoming phone calls, media controls and has the usual timer/stopwatch functions. Everything works well and is easily accessed.
The app is where it all is. Amazon clearly is concentrating on the software side. To unlock a lot of the Halo View's most useful features, you need to subscribe to the Halo Fitness. The first year is included but you have to pay monthly fee after that. What you get with that is a full health analysis, body fat ( you have let the app take a picture of you – I passed,) a library of workouts and recipes ( I could care less about that.)

Set up –
Download the app and follow the instructions. You must have an Amazon account to set up and follow exactly what the instructions say. If you connect to the tracker directly through Bluetooth, it will not set up correctly. I did follow the instructions to the letter, but I could not get it connect. After some phone restarts, reinstalling the software and hard resetting the Halo View, I was able to get it up and running. I almost gave up but tried a final hard reset and it connected.
At the beginning of this review, it did not sound like this was going to be a good review. But there is a lot of technology in the Halo View at a very low rock bottom price. In fact, the sale price on Bestbuy right now is amazingly low. Even at the regular price, the Halo View is bargain, the sale price will seal the deal for many. That is not to say there are room for improvement. Personally, I would pay twice the list price if this was made with a better band, slightly larger screen and no subscription service. Amazon should consider make the software as a perk of signing on to Amazon price. From a functional standpoint, I would have loved to the Halo View to track distance during walks or runs. It will only track number of steps. It would have been a simple calculation based on height, inseam and number of steps to give a distance. Putting that aside, this a great deal on a device that covers most of the bases for a fitness tracker.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Access multiple streaming apps with this Hisense 4K smart TV. The FALD display supports HDR imaging for vivid colors and excellent brightness. Connect multiple devices simultaneously using the four HDMI ports, and access the USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports to support storage device access. This Hisense 4K smart TV features Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Ethernet connectivity for increased versatility.
The specs say the tv with stand is 11.1 in. deep. I would like to put the tv on a fireplace mantle that is only 10 in. deep. Any chance the TV would still be stable if the stand overhung the end of the mantle by 1 in.?
No, I think the stand will be unstable. I measured between the two grommets on the stand legs and they are 10 1/4 inches. I think 10 in mantle would cause the TV to have a very good chance of tipping over.

Just had a power failure - the screen went dark. But when the power came back - the time was accurate and alarm times were still set. Is that normal for the display to go away even with with battery backup?
Yes. Displays take a lot of energy so the battery is not intended to power the display.
